Final answer:

The question about warmness ratings in an insight experiment seems unrelated to Asch's conformity experiment. Asch's study found that people are more likely to conform to incorrect group answers unless they have an ally or can privately record their answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In regard to the insight experiment mentioned in the question, it is not directly related to the information provided, which pertains to Asch's conformity experiment. Still, we can infer that participants who reached a correct answer gave higher warmness ratings at the time of solution, as this would align with the general feeling of confidence and correctness in one's response. It is important to note, however, that Asch's experiment primarily dealt with conformity under peer pressure, rather than insight or 'warmness' during problem-solving.

Asch's experiment found that people were more likely to conform to incorrect answers when they were in a group that unanimously agreed on them. However, if the participant had an ally who shared the correct answer, or if they were able to record their answer privately, the rate of conformity decreased significantl.
